Ask Lemmy

Low IQ moderators who do a billion dollar corporation's work for free just because they want the smallest modicum of power.

Communities with videos of violence and assault, justice porn etc. I hate those, this is honey for conservatives and fascists, they love it and it disgusts me.

_'s of reddit, what is your experience with _?

Not a _, but...

Rage bait, Karen videos, violence

Karma. I feel like that will push Lemmy in a way that isn't healthy.

I hope that the mod-user relationship will be healthier here. (Bias, I was a reddit moderator.)

Some reddit mods were crap, this is true. Powermods and sub collectors were real. They did shit up a few communities.

But these people were a very small proportion of all moderators. Most moderators I met were chill, and just wanted to chip in to their respective communities to give back, in a way. Volunteering for internet janitor duty, because no matter how much people use the term as an insult it turns out public spaces need janitors - or they get filled with shit, trash, graffiti (and not the cool kind either, mostly badly drawn swastikas). It's not a position that should be glorified, or anything, because that's weird, but I hope that some semblance of basic respect can be maintained here on Lemmy - both ways, meaning no powermods but also no defaulting to assuming mods suck.

Circlejerk communities. They almost always end up being worse than the actual places they make fun of.

I'd love more political debate without censorship from either side. I want to hear every argument either side has, even if the argument is dumb. I want to hear the rebuttals people give for the beliefs I have, because that is the only way to check myself.

I would like regulation for these discussions to be more about personal insults, rather than if an idea is deemed too offensive or not (which is arbitrary to begin with). When a debate devolves into insults, there's no point in continuing the conversation anyway.

Just less outrage, more harmony.

Help me name my pet, because I have no creatively or originality and am a karma whore.

constant cyclejerk to farm upvotes. also the fact that on reddit if you dont commonet within like 1hr of post creation you have basically no chance of getting top voted / talking on that thread

Too much politics. During the election on Reddit, everything was either ecstatic “Trump good!” or smug “Orange man bad!” posts with no actual content. My list of blocked subreddits ballooned, and that helped. Maybe I’ll have to do that here.

Toddlerisms like danger noodle (snakes) or velvet hippos (pitbulls I think)

Power-tripping users that somehow have access to hundreds of sub-communities and lean heavily on automodding and just reacting by absolutes because they lack problem solving skills.

Shitty, unfunny jokes that spiral into lengthy comment chains that are a chore to weed through. Keep that shit on Reddit, because everyone pretends they're some downtrodden, unspoken stand up comedian on there.

Thought policing.

Word policing. Yeah I get that we shouldn't say n***** and stuff. But, why go through the trouble of censoring swears? I mean come on, we've grown up to have the privilege of airing those words out!

Death-penalty-for-jaywalking moderation.

"and my axe" "sir this is a Wendy"s" "Now kith" "Take my angry upvote" The pun chains, and song lyric comment chains that you have to scroll through just to see the first relevant comment. And always in the middle of those chains is something like. "This is why I love Reddit". Well, you can keep it. I do hope Schnoodle moves over here though.

The state of certain subreddits was abysmal. Damnthatsinteresting, mildlyinteresting and all the others were just the same thing reposted and crossposted.

Ragebait like noahgettheboat, idiotsincars, publicfreakout. It’s the Jerry Springer of the 2020’s.

Something akin to Against Hate Subreddits, that place is an utter hellhole which is one of if not the most hateful places on the site - hell even the entire internet.

The people who use it are also some of the most insufferable people you'll ever meet on the internet.

I'd also like to not see single power mods rule over hundreds or thousands of different communities, that is also cancer.

“What the title says…” I hate when people start the body of their post referring to the title of the post as if isn’t self-explanatory, that the two are related.

"Came here to say this"

Also, while I will tolerate it, I hope we tone down the doggo speak

All the “helpful” bots filling the comments with annoying messages.

people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit

DAE

Banana for scale

5/7 with rice

Generic ask Reddit threads

All that shit can go to hell.

Ads and rage bait content farm

I really hope that the political communities don't devolve into just useless name calling.

What I like are the comments that discuss the nuances of politics. Why things happen the way they do and the strategies, OR even other people's takes on a topic.

What Reddit turned into was is an ass or is <Stupid/fascists/baby killers> Or is too old and stupid. Nothing of substance just writing the same thing someone else wrote in the last post. Got really boring.

/r/jailbait 🤮

Take my upvote / angry upvote / upvoted

Toxic gatekeeping in communities.
